one step away [Interstellar]

43.

On this day, Fengyan Island was beautiful and windy.

The third engagement banquet between Ellen and Natasha was held at the seaside manor. The guests who came to Fengyan Island a day earlier came to the venue one after another. They stood in twos and threes in the venue decorated with flowers, chatting with each other while holding glasses. .

The guests who came to the banquet knew a little about what happened on the cruise ship, and looked at Lin En who was standing alone in the venue with more or less inquiring eyes.

"About the matter of the Marquis, please don't be too sad, Mrs. Lynn. I don't know Madam, is it okay?" As if on purpose, Gaia Weil approached this cousin with a glass of wine, the corner of his mouth hooked With a playful smile, he said, "General Xia Zuo used the emergency helicopter of the military region. Now he is in the hospital of the military region. I don't know what the situation is. After all, the scene at that time was really worrying. It’s a pity to lose your first child.”

"Ah...Xia Zuo said that he is out of danger, but the child is gone. Children, as long as I want, I will have many people to give birth to me, just like Uncle Pan En. But the first child is still very important, after all Heir." His wife was still in danger, but the young Marquis did not feel any grief, but had a refreshing atmosphere.

When he said this, he turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on Maureen who was talking with someone not far away, and the corners of his eyes were undisguised.

"That's a pity. The first heir died before he was born." Gaia followed his gaze and looked at Mo Lin. "With Omega, it is not so easy to have a child."

As far as the actual situation is concerned, whether it is combined with alpha or beta, Omega is very easy to conceive.After being together with Marquis Lynn for three years, it was difficult for Heber to conceive. In addition to the use of inhibitors during the estrus period, there was another very important reason, that is, Lynn's oligospermia constitution made it extremely difficult for people to conceive.On the contrary, it is very easy to conceive other people's children.

These are the physical conditions that were detected clearly during the pre-marital physical examination.But as Lynn, who is very confident about his body, he didn't know it in detail.Therefore, Heber has always been unable to conceive a child because of incomplete union during estrus.

The period when Heber was pregnant happened to be the time when the old Duke was notified of his critical illness for the first time when he was hospitalized.

"Oh." Lin En sneered, and looked at Maureen in the crowd with a gloomy look, "Omega is not the only one who can give birth to me."

"Ah, it's like this, I almost forgot about the little beauty you raised." Gaia smiled, raised the wine cup to him, and said meaningfully, "Then, I wish you a new one in advance. His heir." If he wants his illegitimate son to be the new heir, what else can he do except let his other father become his new partner.

After Gaia, who already knew who the other party was, lightly clinked glasses, with a smile on his lips, he blended into the lively crowd.

Without those people who have been in his heart all the time appearing in front of him to scare him, Lynn stayed at the banquet very comfortably.But soon, his comfortable atmosphere was broken.A group of three people appeared in front of him, interjecting his and other people's words.Because of this person's arrival, everyone who chatted with him consciously retreated to the side, leaving room for conversation.

The person who came was a guest that Lynn was very unfamiliar with but had to be familiar with. He was a handsome middle-aged alpha, and also the father of his current wife Hebe—the Marquis of Violet.

The Marquis of Fox, from San Lanrenzo, has a fair and supple face that has been nourished by the humid air in the south-central part of the empire for many years.Even though he was almost middle-aged, he was still extremely handsome and beautiful. As an alpha, he had a face that was even more beautiful than an omega.

With his brilliant silver hair and captivating red eyes, he is also a very outstanding one among many distinguished guests.When he stood in front of Lynn, he had already experienced the engagement ceremony of Ellen and Natasha, a venue of 500 people, and he was boiling because of the gossip.

The guests looked at the handsome face of the Marquis, and looked at Lin En, who was not as young and beautiful as him, and whispered among themselves.

Lin En, who had only met the other party at the wedding three years ago, now saw that Heber's appearance was five points similar to that of Heber, so he naturally recognized who this man was.Because of this, when faced with this insignificant but cold face, he was terrified for a while.

"Where's Hebe?" the Marquis Fox asked, looking at the son-in-law he didn't like very much from the beginning, and asked with a cold face, "Where is she, why isn't she with you?"

"I've been in San Lorenzo for three days, and I've heard a lot of rumors about you." The Marquis, who is well-known among the nobles and has a good reputation, no longer has a smile like a spring breeze on his face at this moment, but He said blankly, "Since you no longer live in Granville, how about letting me take my daughter home?"

The man's cold voice revealed a rare strength, and Lynn frowned.Standing behind the Marquis was his second wife and their alpha son who had just graduated.

Not far away, Maureen, who was standing aside, frowned slightly as she watched the situation here.She turned her eyes, looked at the blond male alpha behind the Marquis, and exchanged a glance calmly.

Because of his poor health, the Marquis Fox, who stayed in San Lanrenzo all the year round and didn't like socializing, suddenly came to the imperial capital three days ago.What is this old fox thinking?No matter what is on their minds, there will be a day when they need to talk about it.

Heber's body began to recover slowly after three days.At that time, Xia Zuo, who had already completed the vacation procedures, was in the office of the military region, looking at the documents that Ms. Lisa had sent her, and biting the finger on his lips.

She didn't expect Lynn to move so fast, and she couldn't wait to sue Heber before meeting anyone with Heber.The person who was reluctant to divorce at the beginning is now suing the wife who has just lost a child to court for divorce.Should she praise her brother, who is very good at finding opportunities?

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo, who had just replied to Miss Lisa's email, was distracted by a rush of ringtones.

"Dinglingling...Dinglingling..." The bell rang for a short while, and Xia Zuo connected to the communication.Amanda's voice sounded in her ears, with a little anxiety, "General, Ms. Heber has woken up, and now she is struggling to get out of the ward to see the child... this..."

"You stop people first, wait for me to pass, don't provoke her, don't hurt her." Xia Zuo said so, before he even had time to close his communication, he rushed to Heber's place in a hurry.

As soon as he stepped on the floor where Heber was, he heard a commotion.

"Madam, you can't get out of bed yet, wait a few days..."

"I want to see her... Let me go and see her..."

The woman said this sentence over and over again, her hoarse voice was weak and heartbreaking.Such a gentle and proud person said pleadingly at this moment, "I can go now, let me go and see her, just for a while, just for a while..."

"No... ma'am... ma'am... hold her..."

The commotion in his ears intensified, Xia Zuo ran to the door, and at a glance saw the woman struggling on the bed with her limbs held down by the nurses.She was wearing a large hospital gown, and under the light, her nearly transparent white hair was messily scattered on the pale bed, revealing a delicate face the size of a palm.Xia Zuo quickened his pace and quickly came to her bedside, looking at her tear-filled eyes, the tip of his nose was sore, and he could hardly hold back his tears.

Seemingly seeing her, Heber became quiet all of a sudden.She was lying on the bed, staring blankly at Xia Zuo, pleading, "I just... want to see her..." Look at... her child.

"I know...but you just woke up, and your health is still not very good. If anything happens, the doctors will be very embarrassed." Xia Zuo forced the pity back into his eyes, and motioned the nurses to let go. Only then did he realize that Heber's white and slender wrists were covered with red marks in the struggle.

"But I want to see her." As if not aware of the pain, Heber looked at the only person he could trust in front of him, and said willfully, "You let them let me go and see her, okay?"

A very smart woman naturally knows who the people here will listen to.She struggled and could only turn to the one who gave the orders.

Those eyes, which were always full of tenderness, now revealed an almost shattered desperate pleading, which made Xia Zuo simply unable to refuse.Pretending to be helpless, Xia Zuo showed a gentle smile and said, "Alright then, I'll take you there."

Hebe's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded heavily like a young girl, showing a gentle smile.

Xia Zuo wrapped her slender body tightly with a soft blanket, then bent down and hugged her easily. Omega's body is so light to hold, it doesn't take much effort at all.Her long, smooth hair was scattered on Xia Zuo's arms, and her slender jade feet protruded from the blanket and fell to Xia Zuo's side, gently rubbing against her legs as she walked.

The woman in his arms exuded a seductive fragrance, but Xia Zuo didn't have any charm in his heart.She hugged this slender and thin woman, walked on the long corridor, tightened her arms lovingly, and hugged her even tighter.

The pale incandescent lamps in the corridor swayed back and forth above the head, and Heber nestled quietly in Xia Zuo's arms, turned his face outward, and looked curiously at every place he walked, with a hot light shining in his eyes.The person holding her walked quickly and steadily. They walked around a ward that was opened or closed from time to time, and finally stopped in front of a glass room with tight guards.

"It's here, because the children inside can't be carried out for activities yet, only doctors and nurses can go in, so we can only watch here." Xia Zuo said with some embarrassment while hugging the woman in his arms.

Through a glass window, one can see the neatly arranged glass incubators, where there are thin and thin babies with thick heads and tiger brains.In Xia Zuo's arms, Heber poked his head out vigorously, scanned the sealed incubators one by one, and tried his best to find the child who had fallen from her body and had never met before.

"Where is she... Where is she..." She grabbed Xia Zuo's arm and asked anxiously, "Which one is it? Which one is it?"

Xia Zuo was tormented by such eager eyes, as if he couldn't bear it, Xia Zuo looked away, embraced the woman in his arms, and ruthlessly revealed the truth, "I'm sorry... Hebe... She should have been here ..."

Those hot eyes extinguished all the light in an instant, as if the last ray of light was shattered, Heber, who was completely in the dark, grabbed the person holding her tightly, and suddenly calmed down.As if she already understood it, she opened her mouth softly and said, "Really... so now, can you really take me to see her?"

No... this is too cruel for you.Xia Zuo lowered his eyes, looked at the woman nestled in his arms, and couldn't bear to ask, "Next time... next time, okay?"

He Bo shook his head, looked at the person holding her with tears in his eyes, and gently tugged at her sleeves, the tears from the corners of his eyes slowly slid down, "At least... let me take a look at her, okay? Xia Zuo .”

Those twinkling eyes revealed unprecedented determination, Xia Zuo couldn't resist, nodded, agreed to her request, and walked towards the elevator with her in his arms.

In the closed elevator, there was a chill.In the silent environment, Xia Zuo held her in his arms and wrapped her even tighter with the blanket.

Stopping on the first floor, Xia Zuo carried her out of the elevator and walked towards a silent passage.Going down the stairs one more floor, under the pale light, they came to the door of an empty room, and then pushed open the door that was concealed, and a gloomy cold air rushed towards their faces.

The woman nestled in her arms remained motionless, quietly, obediently as if she had died.In the cold room, neatly drawn cabinets leaned against the wall, silently.Soft footsteps sounded in the room, and finally stopped on a refrigerator in the far left corner.

Xia Zuo reached out and pressed his fingerprint on the scanner.A sound of mechanical vibration sounded in the room, and then a cabinet in front of him was slowly opened and pushed out.

Hebe's eyes, which were so quiet that they were almost dead, finally had some fluctuations.

The air-conditioning dissipated, and in the huge freezer lay a small body wrapped in a soft white cloth.With a wrinkled face with unclear features, the small hands that were neatly placed were folded tightly on the abdomen and curled up tightly as if they were not opened.Such a small mass, just so pale, lying in this cold place without a sound.

Xia Zuo only gave her a glance, then quickly stretched out his hand, covered Hebe's eyes, hugged her and coaxed her softly, "Okay, Hebe, don't look at it." Please, don't look at it, she shouldn't take She came here, it was so cruel.

But Heber pulled her hand away, locked his eyes firmly on that small body, and bit his lower lip tightly.

She stared at the little child without blinking her eyes, the pink lips had already been bitten with blood, winding down the corners of her mouth, staining her chin red.

"Hebe... Hebe..." Xia Zuo hugged her nervously, stretched out his hand and let go of her tightly clenched lips, and put his tiger's jaw in her mouth helplessly.

But Heber didn't respond to anything, she just looked at the poor child who hadn't opened his eyes yet, and burst into tears.Consciousness gradually drifted away, and He Bo, who fell into a coma under Xia Zuo's call, bit her tiger's jaw tightly, gradually blurring his vision.

It's so cold... Mom...

She heard a childish voice whispering in her ear.

It's so cold...it's really cold...

She curled up and hid in a thin embrace in the clearly scorching summer.
